About the Vollard Suite In 1930 Picasso was commissioned to produce the etchings by the art dealer and publisher Ambroise Vollard in exchange for paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Paul Cézanne. Picasso worked extensively on the set in the spring of 1933 and completed the suite in 1937. It took a further two years for the printmaker Roger Lacourière to finish printing the 230 full sets, but the death of Vollard in 1939 and the Second World War meant that the sets only started coming onto the art market in the 1950s. The works are not based on a literary source and are not titled, although according to the Fundacion Juan March, "Some of the themes have a remote origin in Honore de Balzac's short story Le Chef-d’oeuvre inconnu (The Unknown Masterpiece, 1831), which greatly impressed Picasso. It tells the story of a painter’s efforts to capture life itself on canvas through the means of feminine beauty". The works are inscribed by Picasso with the year month and day that he drew the image. Writing in the Daily Telegraph Richard Dorment claims that as Picasso took such a long time to create the suite, "the imagery and the emotional register of the prints constantly shifts to reflect Picasso's erotic and artistic obsessions, marital vicissitudes, and the darkening political situation in Europe. In the years Picasso worked on the series, fascism spread through Europe and civil war erupted in Spain. These anxieties also found their way into the Vollard Suite, so that by the time you reach the end of the show and the last images of the blind minotaur, you feel that you are in a different emotional universe from the sunlit arcadia you encountered at the show’s beginning". The suite begins with prints exploring the theme of the sculptor's studio, Picasso's mistress, Marie-Therese Walter is portrayed as a model lying in the arms of a bearded sculptor. Picasso had recently been inspired by Marie-Thérèse to create a series of monumental bronze heads in the neoclassical style. Picasso had also recently been commissioned by the publisher Albert Skira in 1928 to develop original intaglio prints for his translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses, which appeared in 1931. Dorment comments that a minotaur appears, joining in scenes of bacchic excess, but the minotaur is transformed from a gentle lover and bon vivant into a rapist and devourer of women, reflecting Picasso's turbulent relationships with Marie-Thérèse and his wife, Olga. In a third transformation, the minotaur becomes pathetic, blind and impotent, he wanders by night, led by a little girl with the features of Marie-Thérèse. The final three prints from the suite are portraits of Vollard. Picasso learnt new techniques of etching during the suite, from relatively simple line etchings, through dry pointing and aquatinting and sugar aquatinting, this enabled him to achieve more painterly effects. Most of the prints were completed to Picasso's satisfaction in a single state but others, especially the erotic compositions, exist in several states, fourteen in one case. About Verlag Gerd Hatje Hatje was born in Hamburg in 1915. After an apprenticeship as a typesetter in Stuttgart, he started the Humanitas Verlag (publishing house) when he was thirty. The publishing house was renamed Verlag Gerd Hatje in 1947. His varied interests were reflected in his publishing program; in addition to classics and contemporary literature, he also produced publications on jazz. One of his earliest publications was a catalogue for a Max Beckmann exhibition and an edition of the German classic The Book of Le Grand by Heinrich Heine. In the fifties and sixties, the great masters of painting, sculpture, and architecture gained importance. These years were marked by Hatje’s contact and friendships with artists, architects, and art historians, including Willi Baumeister, Hans Arp, Georges Braque, Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Christo, Joseph Beuys, Max Bill, Le Corbusier, Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius, and James Stirling, as well as collaboration with notable international publishers such as Harry N. Abrams, Thames and Hudson, Gustavo Gili, and Eric Hazan. Gerd Hatje concentrated on realizing his dream of publishing art of the highest quality. In his words, publishing is the process by which “intellectual spaces are made accessible.” Hatje was motivated by a strong personable conviction, embarking on intellectual adventures with artists and authors, and was always ready to take risks in the interest of beautiful books and artworks. Among his publications are some of the best-designed art, design, and architecture works of the twentieth century, and many were awarded prizes. Hatje was always concerned with quality, both in the books and art, he published. He once said, “For me, there is neither a past nor a future in art. A work of art that cannot always exist in the present is not worth talking about.” Pablo Picasso 1881-1973 School of Paris, painter, sculptor, etcher, lithographer, ceramist and designer, who has had an enormous influence on 20th-century art and worked in an unprecedented variety of styles.

A while ago I pinned a super cool looking watercolor portrait tutorial. Recently I noticed that Kristin Dudish had tried it out with great results. So, I decided to try it out too! I put mine in frames and I love how they look all together! Here's a peek at each one by itself: I gave the first three to my Mom for Mother's Day... ...and the last one to my friend, Riv (who is in the photo with me). And yes, they both loved them! :) Give the tutorial a try and see for yourself how very easy it...
